That Kitten May Look Harmless, but He's a Jailbird
By SUSAN SAULNY with PATRICK HEALY
Gizmo the cat is only about 6 weeks old, but his life reads like that of the most streetwise New Yorker. Days spent on subway platforms with his keeper, a street musician. A brush with the law. And now, a record of hard time — more than 40 hours — in the system.
Gizmo, it seems, ran afoul of Statute 1050.91 of the subway conduct code, the one about animals in transit facilities. Essentially, it says that animals must be constrained or restrained in the subway, and for Gizmo, that means a leash or a carrier.
